love who you are

Don't love what others want you to become. Love who you are and what choices you make.

People say my name like I cant hear them, Like they think I’m not there at all. I think to myself what it would be like to never exist, and then I think about who my friends are, what would they be like if I had not been there for them. I think of how everything would be different. But then I look at myself in the mirror and say I Love my body, my hair, my everything. If somebody says they don’t like it …..Well I don’t care. Yall don’t control me, yall don’t control anything, I control myself and I Love what I see. Loving myself is more important that what others say and do. They simply want to put you down for not looking as they do. I love who I am and I believe everyone should love there self and not try to become something they are not.
